Deal includes recorded music and publishing
HarbourView Equity Partners has agreed to purchase select recorded music and publishing assets of multi-Platinum selling, Grammy and Golden Globe nominated recording artist Wiz Khalifa. Assets in the deal include chart-topping titles “See You Again,” “Black & Yellow,” and “The Thrill,” and span Wiz’s prolific career across dozens of albums, mixtapes, and collaborations with some of the biggest names in entertainment. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Wiz maintains an active and far-reaching career across media and entertainment, as he parlayed his musical success into an entertainment empire that spans a variety of businesses and media genres, including ownership of independent record, management company and lifestyle brand – Taylor Gang.
“[HarbourView Founder and CEO] Sherrese [Clarke Soares] and HarbourView truly understand the value of music and artistry,” Khalifa shares. “We are excited to partner with them as they continue to build a dynamic media company that is in line with the values and goals we all have here at Taylor Gang.”
The news comes the same day HarbourView, a multi-strategy, global investment firm focused on investment opportunities in the entertainment and media space, acquired select assets from fellow rapper Nelly. That deal includes some of Nelly’s most iconic tracks such as “Ride Wit Me,” “Dilemma” featuring Kelly Rowland, and smash hit “Hot in Herre.”
